Viva La Vida (CHORDS) by Coldplay

[Verse 1]~
          C#      D#
I used to rule the world,..

          G#                   Fm
Seas would rise when I gave the word!

                    C#    D#
Now in the morning I sleep alone,..

         G#                Fm
Sweep the streets I used to own!

C# D# G# Fm
C# D# G# Fm


         C#       D#
I used to roll the dice,..

        G#                 Fm
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes!

             C#          D#
Listen as the crowd would sing,..

        G#                Fm
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

            C#       D#
One minute I held the key,..

        G#                   Fm
Next the walls were closed on me!


                        C#      D#
And I discovered that my castles stand,..

    G#                  Fm
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand!


[Chorus]~
C#             D#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing,..

G#            Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing!

C#               D#
Be my mirror,.. my sword and shield,..

  G#                Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field!

C#                D#
For some reason I can't explain,..

G#                    Fm
Once you'd gone it was never,..

        C#     D#
Never an honest word!

            G#               Fm
And that was when I ruled the world!


C# D# G# Fm
C# D# G# Fm


[Verse 2]~
                     C#   D#
It was the wicked and wild wind,..

             G#              Fm
Blew down the doors to let me in!

                         C#       D#
Shattered windows and the sound of drums,..

      G#                    Fm
People couldn't believe what I'd become!

        C#     D#
Revolutionaries wait

      G#               Fm
For my head on a silver plate!

                  C#     D#
Just a puppet on a lonely string,..

   G#                        Fm
Oh,.. who would ever want to be king..?


[Chorus]~
C#             D#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing,..

G#            Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing!

C#               D#
Be my mirror,.. my sword and shield,..

  G#                Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field!

C#                D#
For some reason I can't explain,..

G#                     Fm
I know Saint Peter won't call my name,..

        C#     D#
Never an honest word!

            G#               Fm
And that was when I ruled the world!


C# D# C# D# C# D# Fm


[Bridge]~
            C#  D#
Ooh oh oh oh ooh oh

            G#  Fm
Ooh oh oh oh ooh oh

            C#  D#
Ooh oh oh oh ooh oh

            G#  Fm
Ooh oh oh oh ooh oh
Ooh oh oh oh ooh oh


[Chorus]~
C#             D#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing,..

G#            Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing!

C#               D#
Be my mirror,.. my sword and shield,..

  G#                Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field!

C#                D#
For some reason I can't explain,..

G#                     Fm
I know Saint Peter won't call my name,..

        C#     D#
Never an honest word!

            G#
And that was when I ruled the world!
